I am in love with the resource Trello! I have used it for several project focused activities, but found it indispensable during my time as a newspaper adviser. It utilizes your already set up Google accts. and works with a left to right workflow (although you can customize it to work any way you want).

This project was inspired by the work of Yaacov Agam. Agam is considered to be the father of kinetic art. My first view of this was an analog version that I saw on YouTube while researching the artist. I was able to find a step-by-step version for a hand made version here. To convert this project to Photoshop required students to learn about grids, snapping, ratios, resolution, and fixed sized selections. Our project size was driven by the size limitations of our color laser printer that most students used to print these.

Gamificaion is an interesting concept which may increase learner engagement and retention. This course is intended to allow educators to consider the elements required for ramification of a course by exploring the elements of a successful program, duoLingo. The resource provided is a PPT with screen captures from duoLingo. An instructor could introduce Ps, Ai, or other Adobe programs and allow participants to crate their own ramification elements after discussing the PPT. If desired, instructors can create their own video using the PPT to supplement their instruction.

The Learning objective is:
At the end of the Professional Development Session, educators will be able to identify the basic tools of Adobe Premiere for importing, editing and exporting video.
Participants will identify basic elements of the Adobe Premiere Pro interface GUI (Graphic User Interface)
The sequence of skills is divided in 3 moments
a) Importing material
b) Working with material
c) Exporting material
What will they be working on exactly?
Once they are grouped in pairs by level of comfort with technology and interest level. I will ask educators to create a high-school promotion video. This video must show, what our school offers, (arts, sports, music, science, plays), etc.
They will find multimedia elements in a Project Folder. And they will be asked to explore and organize this content in Adobe Premiere.
What assets are they importing?
In the project folder, they will find some high school footage I recorded earlier, bac... Read More

This idea come up visiting a behance portfolio of Akatre Studio, Paris, France - https://www.behance.net/gallery/23194649/Zero-To-Five-by-Akatre?isa0=1#
it would be a great project for photoshop classes, even illustrator:
what do you have in your head?
the people could take pictures of real objects over/in front their heads or make photoshop collages. if working on illustrator, they could draw objects, vectorize their own photos and create portraits.

A professional development plan for educators, staff and administrators was designed with a month long flipped on-lined training for participants to learn essential skills and functionality necessary on their own pace in order to advance to the 3 hours face to face workshop session. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to create a lesson plan template and post a link to their digital media product. This is a work in progress. Your suggestion will make it better. Thank you so much in advance.

These days, our life is full of various ads, which makes us become more and more blind to advertising. Companies are always trying to find new and creative ways to catch consumer’s attention. so this is project with my students in Advanced Computer Graphic Course under title (Interactive Sequential Magazine Ads), try to create creative and clever magazine ads directed mostly to solve the problem In a world filled with interactive technology, how can print ads compete? Interactive Sequential Magazine Ads had one thing in common: interaction. Either by giving the reader something physical to interact with, or using technology itself to enhance the ad, each ad was able to create that extra component that begged and even forced the reader to pay attention and absorb its message.

How to be a Creative story board in six easy steps
Step
1. Form an idea:
According to the children, this was
one of the three most difficult steps in the process. The idea can be as simple
as a trip to the market or as complex as a war. But the only condition is that
the idea should be your own interpretation, opinion or story of something.
Step
2. Form your characters:
Obviously, the idea has to be
conveyed by someone. Hence, create your characters. Children picked inanimate
objects, plants, animals, humans, the sun, the moon, extinct species etc. to tell
their tale. They made half-page sketches of their main characters, focussing on
their appearance, attire and quirks to help them keep the characters
recognizable throughout the story.
Step 3. Create your story:
The characters will need a way which
leads to the grand or subtle unveiling of your idea. Thus, you create your
story with a narrative arc. The narrative arc can be gripping or bl... Read More
